    First BIAB - A few questions

    Just to offer another opinion, I just put the whole content of the boil into the FV. My beer comes out pretty clear, I don't use any finings. Brulosophy also did some tests on this and there is a theory that the trub actually can help provide nutrients for the yeast and doesn't directly effect...

    Sweetening ginger "beer"

    Its probably not the answer to your question but was listening to a brulosophy podcast on the way home and someone was asking sbout using lactose to back sweeten cider. Apparently it works well, it just adds a slight creaminess to the drink

    Force carbonating.

    In line with this, i So you would need to maintain 20psi but that wouldn't require any more Co2 until liquid is dispensed? Is that correct?

    Force carbonating.

    As someone just toying with the idea of kegs, that information is really useful so thanks @woody1959 Be interested to see your results on the amount of CO2 bulbs needed to maintain pressure as well.

    mini kegs (CO2 style) day to day functionality

    Thanks dude. My only concern with the Dark Farm kegs is that the tap is integrated into the cap so would mean unscrewing stuff. Others use the ball stop disconnectors so would then just be able to move the tap round.

    mini kegs (CO2 style) day to day functionality

    Thanks Kelper, that sounds very positive then. I am going to ask different people for different parts of the set up for Christmas, which is another nice feature.

    mini kegs (CO2 style) day to day functionality

    Thanks @SteveH thats really useful. The use of one keg seems fairly straight forward, it was having multiples that was starting to confuse me! Probably the way forward would be to have a lid for each keg with ball lock fitting and a Co2 adaptor for each keg. I could then pressurise both and...

    Should Bulgaria be expelled from the competition?

    No need to apologise! :) My point though is should clubs be kicked out of competitions for sexist chants... was thinking about the Ashes where some of the crowd were chanting get your ....'s out. Brighton often get subjected to homophobic chants etc but there is a lot less pressure on this...

    Should Bulgaria be expelled from the competition?

    It depends what will have the biggest impact. Playing behind closed doors doesn't help. Maybe play away from home with no away ticket allowance? Need the biggest impact in order for the countries FA/government to make changes. Same as banning English teams from Europe in the 80's, forced a...

    mini kegs (CO2 style) day to day functionality

    Hi guys, Another thing on my Christmas wish list is some mini kegs as love the size and portability of them as an option for me. What I am getting confused by is the pressurising and attachments to the lid and how they actually work day to day. Would I have to have a tap per keg? or can I...

    Should Bulgaria be expelled from the competition?

    The only thing that will happen with any further sanctions is what type of abuse constitutes bans etc. Eg. homophobic chants, sexist chants. Football more than any other sport has a far more territorial fan base and "banter" is a part of the match day experience for many. Is there a...

    Should Bulgaria be expelled from the competition?

    100%. same way club sides should be docked points or kicked out of cup competitions in England.

    I think my main problem is the expectation that people tip in restaurants but would never tip in a shop regardless of quality of service received. I have provided excellent service when working in retail and the customer would never have thought to tip. where as average service in...

    Spongebob Squarepants promotes ‘violent and racist’ colonialism

    My 2 year old daughter was lecturing me about the negative effects of colonialism just the other day. she then sang head, shoulders, knees and toes and threw her lunch at me

    I have many frustrations with the idea of tipping. Namely why it is mainly associated in the UK with eating in restaurants. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-45707539

    reviewing process- bigger stockpot or electric boiler

    Thanks dude. That was something i was worried about. Could do what i do now and boil 15l of wort and then top up with water but kind of feels if I am buying skmething might as well make it work fully.

    reviewing process- bigger stockpot or electric boiler

    Thanks dude, thats exactly what I was thinking. With your Karstein, does the temperature control work with a dial or a display? or is it just an element with no thermostat? my Ace Boiler dial stopped working so bit skeptical about the design. Is that similar to a camping mat? that sounds...
